Tom Goes To the Mayor (Cartoon Network) - My prediction: TGTTM
is to 2005 as ATHF was to 2004.

Da Ali G Show (HBO) - One of the scariest/daring and over-the-top funniest things i have ever seen anywhere: Watching Sacha Baron Cohen as "Borat" sing his "Uzbeki" national song "Throw the Jew Down The Well" to a rodeo bar filled with rednecks as they all slowly start singing along.

The Daily Show (Comedy Central)- daily dose of sanity

Arrested Development (FOX) - the Bluth family: so completely
rich and evil, and yet I love them.

The Office (BBC America)- the special brought tears to my eyes. Tim
and Dawn, nuff said.

THE WORST OF 2004:
I can't believe this schmuck got elected again. 4 more years of war, gore, torture, corporate raiding, ginormous national deficit, removal of environmental protection laws, destruction of the environment and decreasing civil rights. The Dicks' 1984 single "I Hope You Get Drafted" seems amazingly current.
